i think a lot of the magic of this shithole website actually comes from the fact that the search feature is completely useless… like the fact that you quite literally cannot search for a post even if you type it in word for word means that all the classic, beloved, and infamous posts are these ephemeral things that only come around every so often and can only be found organically when they happen to make it to your dash like a flock of rare migratory birds
MARI! MY ANGEL! HELLO DEAR! Thank you for a delightfully fluffy prompt!

Together

Annabeth’s vaguely aware of waking up, slowly, sleep pulling itself out of her grasp as the light makes its way across her eyelids. She makes a tiny little noise as she stretches her arms above her head.
“You awake?” Percy asks. He sounds far more awake than Annabeth herself feels.
“No,” Annabeth mumbles, pulling the blankets up around her. “Jeez, it’s cold.”
“It’s March in New York City,” Percy says, curling up behind her. “It’s always cold.”
“We gotta figure out a way to get this apartment to stay warmer.”
Percy’s hands slip just under the hem of her tee shirt. “Listening.”
“Okay, not what I meant, you horndog,” Annabeth laughs. She threads her fingers into Percy’s, like they always do. “Jeez, it’s like you only got more obsessed with me after the wedding.”
Percy’s fingers find her wedding ring, twisting and turning it as he presses his lips to her neck. “I’ve been obsessed with you since we were twelve. It’s increasing exponentially as we get older.”
“Ooh, keep talking nerdy to me,” Annabeth laughs.
The morning fades away as they fade into each other and Annabeth, despite all they’ve battled, thinks it may have been worth it now that they get to land right here. Together.
“I feel like a different person, I feel ashamed of myself, it feels so personal! Such an intimate moment to be shared with so many people, I will be discussing this with my therapist at length, at length!”
Stop the press. Roll up, roll up. Gather round, one and all. If you’re into #harry styles, shoes, inexplicable Australian traditions, and drinking, then have we got a treat for you this Wednesday. The nation-state is a flawed but proud concept, and the land masses into which we are randomly birthed can become a source of immense pride and identity. This manifests itself in a number of ways, from language, to dress, to cuisine, to cultural traditions. And such is the majesty and madness of our fleshy species that one nation in particular, Australia, devised “The shoey” in which participants drink from their own shoe. Quite the calling requires quite the man to execute such a moment.
Cometh the hour, cometh the man: Mr. Harry Styles.
If you too can’t get enough of #harry styles, or shoeys, you can catch all the latest gifs, pix, and sexy, shoey goodness right here as he brings Love on Tour across Australia and beyond.
